RV

ABOUT

STEP Warmfloor RV brings the warmth and comfort of home to life on the open road. Built on the same low-voltage, self-regulating heating technology that warms thousands of homes, STEP Warmfloor RV is engineered specifically for recreational vehicles, with higher wattage output than our residential line for fast, even, consistent heat in the smaller spaces and harder conditions an RV faces. Whether you're on the grid, off the grid, or somewhere in between, STEP Warmfloor RV eliminates cold floors and replaces the noise, dust, and dry air of a traditional forced-air furnace with quiet, clean radiant warmth from below.

"STEP RV is the alignment of nature and engineering and is allowing us to feel the future of freedom and comfort out on the open road. Our radiant, electric systems are the safest way to heat your RV, conserving energy and the health of our planet simultaneously."

Monica Irgens, Co-Founder, STEP HEAT

BENEFITS

Radiant heat designed for life on the road.

Power and off-grid flexibility

  • Connect to a 24V AC power supply or a 24V battery pack for shore power and house-battery setups.
  • Pair with solar or wind power through the STEP DC Controller for true off-grid heating.
  • Self-regulating elements draw less current as the cabin warms, conserving battery and reducing solar load.

Form and installation

  • Installs under the floor or inside walls of motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, Sprinter vans, and custom builds.
  • Cuts to length on the spot, so it adapts to floor plans during new builds, remodels, restorations, and retrofits.
  • Thin and flexible, so it adds heat without adding height to floors, doorways, or cabinetry.
  • Compatible with most floor coverings, including tile, hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, and carpet.

Comfort and wellness

  • Even, room-by-room warmth that radiates from the floor up, where you actually feel it.
  • Silent operation. No fans, no blowers, no kicking on at 3 a.m.
  • No forced air means no circulating dust, allergens, or dry-out, helpful in a sealed RV cabin.
  • Higher wattage than residential systems to handle thin RV floors and rapid heat-up after cold mornings.

TINY HOME

STEP Warmfloor is a perfect option for heating a tiny home. Space is limited, and precious, in tiny homes. While there are several options to heat source your tiny home, they all require floor space, and all come with challenges in regards to safety, temperature regulation, power requirements and costs to maintain.

Tiny home owners often struggle to regulate the temperature in their space, with many saying it gets too hot too fast. Additionally because most tiny homes are on wheels and have a space between the ground and the bottom of the structure, the cold air seeps in through the floor, creating cold floors and inefficient heating. Tiny home owners need to have heating units that are efficient, safe, economical and have minimal environmental impact.

The STEP Warmfloor heating elements are designed to provide safe, low-voltage (12-48V), AC or DC, floor warming systems for tiny houses and trailer applications. The STEP Warmfloor heating element is self-regulating and cannot overheat. The nature of the material automatically reduces or increases its heat output to adjust to temperature changes.

STEP Warmfloor radiant heating systems use a thin (3/64”), flexible flat heating element, which operates on low voltage. These durable, lightweight heating elements can be stapled or nailed to the subfloor and can be cut to length on the job site. The installation requires almost no floor buildup, making it an excellent choice for remodeling and retrofit applications, in addition to new construction. For any floor warming or radiant heat system, the use of proper thermal insulation is required. Without the use of insulation, cold stripes on the finished floor surface may be evident even with tight element spacing. As a minimum, you need to have more R-value below the elements than above. STEP Warmfloor radiant heating systems have no moving parts and require virtually no maintenance.
